When does the job start, and how long does it last? Could someone apply to do it over the summer, say? Will the person(s) have work every week (and thus a "steady job"), or is it all sporadic and ad-hoc?

Yes, good points. Same doubts here.

The Singularity Institute needs to hire remote editors. You don't need to be able to conquer the blank page or write good content, you just need to be able to polish completed 2nd drafts of articles and suggest small fixes to wording when ideas are slightly wrong or ambiguous. The work will usually consist in adding dozens of comments to a Google doc or Word doc.

Pay is hourly and starts at $14/hr but that will rise if the product is good. You must be available to work at least 20 hrs/week to be considered.

 

Perks:

  1. Work from home, with flexible hours.
  2. Age and credentials are irrelevant; only the product matters.
  3. Get paid to see early copies of (and contribute to) articles on things you're probably interested in already.

 

If you're interested, apply here. My assistant Denise will send you an example of the editing quality we want, and also an un-commented article for you to provide feedback on as an unpaid trial task. If your deliverable is good enough, I'll hire you.
